REVS - An International E-Mail Network about Racial-Religious-EthnoNationalist Violence
"REVS is concerned with general news and information, research, and theoretical and analytical comments about current and historical aspects of collective violence based on racial-religious-ethnic discrimination. Comments on either collective violence or racial/religious/ethnic discrimination are relevant to REVS, but we especially encourage discussions that deal with the interaction of these two issues. The goal is to develop an archive, bringing together widely scattered current and historical information from around the world and making it accessible to an international audience. Part of this depends on this network reaching people from many different countries. We seek participants from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America, as well as Canada and the U.S." (Source: the site)
